I quit consulting, moved to industry and couldn't be happier. I see my son every day and make about the same amount of money.

Same. I’m going to quit soon. Can’t take it anymore. Career is going nowhere here anyway because family demands mean I can’t travel so my utilization sucks and advancement prospects are slim. Time to bolt

We are in the same situation. It’s not easy. We have struggled for the most part. Wife told her firm that she will only do local projects - which has affected her utilization and trajectory. Personally I don’t think it’s sustainable unless w bring in help who can spend the night with our son when we both are traveling. At some point in time one of us will need to change our job.

Full time nanny, or one switch to non travel role. I have seen both work.

One of you needs to quit. Don’t leave your girl at home with a nanny overnite on a regular basis IMO

How much time they will take to give the feedback as we have a long weekend now

Currently senior consultant with 3.5 years work ex + Masters in IE. Google is offering Program Manager role but at L3. The base will be almost the same as current (120k) but the upside is equity. (+70k year 1) Really confused on whether I should be taking this? It feels like a huge step down and starting all over again at the same level as fresh grads. Was expecting L4 but lost out due to interview feedback. The role would also require me moving cross country (East coast to the Bay)

Hi Fishes,

Is there a minimum tenure that one has to serve in ZS to ask for office transfers? (within India)

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!
